Enchanted by Lass Naturals

Having the perfect healthy looking, shiny and frizz free hair is probably almost every girl's dream! And although some of us are blessed with such hair naturally, one still needs that extra battlegear to battle it out with the humidity, pollution and other Indian weather conditions. With monsoons right around the corner, I'm sure we can foresee the difficult times ahead.

When I was a child and used to live with my nani, I used to be awestruck with her powderbox, in which she stored all her beauty fixes. One of them was a wooden comb. She detested plastic. 

So the first time I used the neem wood comb by Lass Naturals, all those memories came rushing back to me.

Despite July being my birthday month, I hate what monsoon does to my hair. Until recently, when I came across IHT Hair Loss therapy.

2 weeks into using this therapy (Oil, Shampoo and Conditioner) and Im already happier with my hair.

To top it all off, is the Strawberry Moisturiser which makes me smell like an icecream and I lubbbbbb it :P

PharmaSave : Ethicare Remedies

Hello People!

Recently, I noticed my face felt very itchy after taking a bath. I paid no heed to it, until these itches grew into bruises. My friend speculated it might be the facewash I was using, that made my skin so dry it itched. So I started looking for moisturising soaps and facewashes for myself.

It was then that I came across EthiCare, a Rajkot based pharmaceutical company that caters to the needs of people, who often have trouble finding suitable products for themselves.

I was quite impressed by their collection and decided to give some a try, namely: a facewash, soap, cleansing lotion, and a roll on anti-sweat.

The anti sweat RollOn had a rather earthy fragrance, which I think is more suitable for the menfolk, and hence I gave it to my brother. LOL no. He took it. Without asking me.

The soaps were my favourite. The Ospis Soap is an Aloevera based soap: which is known to be a natural non sticky moisturiser. This is useful especially in this humid weather when everything is so sticky.

The Epi plus lotion is a sensitive skin cleanser.It treats and prevents dry,rough,scaly,itchy skin, and other skin irritations. Ideal for a cleansing of Eczematous skin e.g. Atopic dermatitis,contact dermatitis, Hand foot eczema, Diaper dermatitis.

You see the little bead-like things in the picture above? They completely dissolve when you use them, and wash away impurities; Which is why CutiShine has taken the place in my travel bag permanently!

How to do your work/study (and Procrastinate too! :P)

If you're anything like me, the first week (or two, or three, or six) after spring break is the hardest. You just went from living a homework-free life with no alarm clocks right back into a rigid schedule with countless papers, homework assignments, and presentations looming in the near future. And while you know you have all these responsibilities to fulfill, you have zero motivation to do any of the work. 

So, if you're looking for a sign to get your life together and actually start on that assignment that's due tomorrow, this is it. But before you go, take a look at my (kinda) fool-proof method of overcoming the urge to procrastinate!

1. Gather everything you need to get started
   If you're writing a research paper or a discussion post, pull out your textbooks, journal articles, and all other sources of information you need to write. Figure out how you're going to utilize each one, which one you're going to draw the most information out of, then line them up accordingly. While this step doesn't necessarily help you start writing, it does help you feel more organized and ready to take on your next project. 
2. Write your paper paragraph by paragraph
   If you struggle to keep your attention locked on your project, write a full paragraph and walk away from it for a few minutes. Take a Facebook break, grab a drink, whatever you feel like doing in the moment. Then, jump right back into writing. As you get into the zone and really focus on the task at hand, you'll start to forget about those mini breaks and think more about what you're doing. This will make time pass more quickly, plus you'll feel accomplished when you finally take a break and see how much you've finished! 
3. Let yourself breathe
   Sometimes, doing homework can feel like the most overwhelming task in the world, and that's okay. As college students, we have a lot on our plates, and sometimes those responsibilities can be totally draining. The important thing to remember is that, before the deadlines and assignments, you come first. While doing well in school is crucial, you can't let yourself get burned out. So if you start to feel yourself becoming panicked, save your document, close your laptop, and do something you find relaxing. Take a walk to your favorite spot on campus and treat yourself to your favorite snack, lay down and take a power nap, or meet up with a friend and do something fun! You'll end up coming back to your assignment with a fresh perspective and a clear head, which will help you finish it quickly. 

As you can see, it doesn't take much to overcome procrastination! All you have to do is put your mind to it, and sometimes that's the hardest part.

Good luck with the rest of your semester, and happy studying!

Earthy Treats: Raw Rituals

You know, there is just something about the mid-monsoon season that makes me sad and anxious.

Like every year, I was going through the motions again. I was waiting for it to go away silently, until I came across Raw Rituals.

A few minutes with them made me realise the reason of my anxiousness.

I wasn't relaxing properly.

So they suggested me a few of their products : Relaxing Ritual Candle being my favourite amongst them.

The RRC is a 100% beeswax candles that calms your senses and is the perfect yoga accessory too!

 I was also told to indulge in massages often, to keep tensed muscles at bay.

Their body massage oil and hair oil are now my go-to products for everything now. Even as I write this, I am craving a massage. :P

The Raw Rituals representatives are really sweet people, as they pay 100% attention to what you are saying, and give the best advice for products. 

I had fleetingly mentioned to them about how my skin was dry and lacked radiance, and they were kind enough to suggest the Exotic Body Butter and Raw Rituals Soap to me, which, honestly, I had not expected!

You can alternatively look for them on Amazon; and oh Flipkart has them too!

They are also available on instagram @RawRituals; and so am I @ThirdWorldStyle.

Enchanteuse: Aroma India

As some of you might already know from my previous posts, I have been feeling quite anxious these days. Maybe it was the weather, maybe something else, but it just refused to go away and grew with time instead.

After days and days of going through it, I decided to talk to people about this. I was surprised to see I was not the only one experiencing it! Many friends and relatives felt the same way too.

 We decided to form a group and try meditation, as suggested by a friend. Lo and behold! A few sessions later we were all on our roads to calmer selves.

While searching the internet for soothing fragrances for our sessions, I came across Aroma India by Mysore Scents.

The fragrances they had were really interesting and I decided to give a few of them a try and my favourite turned out to be Volupté.

Neatly packed in organza bags specially designed to retain their fragrances, these incense sticks got me hooked the moment I lit them up. The whole room went into a deep romance between soothed senses and calmed minds. 

Their bases linger on for quite some time, even after they are long over.

I am looking forward to getting myself some of their diffusers and scented candles; going by this, it will be a very enchanting experience.

You can find Aroma India on their website Here. Alternatively, you can try Amazon.

They are available on instagram too, @AromaIndia.
